Vientiene


 yesterday - 11th Nov - was a hard day, started out late due to a breakdown, ok for about 40 k then hit some very rough potholed road, I hit a big hole a bit off line, and fell on my left then flipped onto my right, even broke a piece of my helmet and ripped my watch off, also killed my camera. another rider came up and made sure I was ok, so I continued on for about another 10 km before catching up with the group. the decision was to either go farward or back either way there was still about 50 km off road, and then road to the hotel. I didnt feel too bad so continued on with mel shadowing, we kept stopping and waiting, but the rest never caught up, they had a punture and 1 person went the wrong way, the whole day ended up being about 170km.   
 
it was late when me & Mel got in and the others hadnt arrived so after about 30 mins we decided to go and eat. I was ok up until then, then after wards I said I wasnt feeling too well, sat down on a chair and fainted. the leader decided after that to take me to a hospital, then a bigger one where they had xray, so I was examined, xrayed, and utrasounded, but nothing was found, I have brusing on my right hip, (not sore yet), and brusing on my right side thats not too sore either, the sorest part is under my right rib cage. so as there has been nothing else found must just be bruising.
